All those negative things are happening in a society that implemented mass surveillance so clearly it doesn’t help. Recording a crime doesn’t prevent it and if there’s no incentive or funding to make sure justice is served afterwards the recording is useless. I think you’re mistaken in who this surveillance is for: it doesn’t exist to improve your life but to empower corporations and state against you.

Cool flip tho

Cool story. None of it mattered here.

Oh yeah it’s so decentralized. No middle men required, oh no sirree.

If you want problems do the exact opposite of this OP. That should solve your lack of problems.

That’s fucking based. Yarr harr.

Rotate the left display 90 degrees clockwise. Now they’re both in landscape. Ta-da!

Sorry, I’ll see myself out.

Forgiving yourself is difficult. You have grown enough to realize what you did was dumb. Whenever your brain decides to throw a random cringe memory in your face, consciously tell yourself you’re better now and you forgive yourself for your mistakes. It helped me.

…For now.

…what? A meme is an interpretation of a template by definition.

I’m a schizophrenic that switches between Apple and FOSS regularly. It’s gotten to the point where I have an iPhone and a 14" M1 Pro MBP, and also a FairPhone and a Thinkpad T480 upgraded to the gills.

Yes, the Apple ecosystem is like a warm blanket. If you use it the way Apple intended it’s smooth as butter, a completely seamless experience that generally does what it says on the tin with a great user experience. The screens, speakers, build quality and integrated software experience are the best on the planet if you ask me.

However, you live in Apple’s fortress and they can turn that into a prison any time they want. Also if you’re not particularly happy with some way MacOS, but especially i(Pad)OS, does a thing, you’re either shit out of luck or you have to install a paid app that breaks standard workflow. I guess a good way to put this is that Apple has been making appliances of late, rather than computers. Less so for MacOS which is still pretty open to configuration.

The reason I keep switching to FOSS is idealism; I want my hard- and software to belong to me and only me. That also means I am responsible if things break or they don’t work as well as they should. It’s up to me to fix or improve. That sometimes annoys the hell out of me at which point I will switch back to Apple until such time I read a post or view a video that rants about proprietary bullshit and how surveillance/late stage/attention capitalism is ruining the world and round and round we go.

For this latest stint I bought the Thinkpad and upgraded the hell out of it (I figure if Linux is going to run well on anything it’s a Thinkpad). Hope it sticks this time.

“An investor deserves to make their money back,” Gordon said.

No they fucking don’t, the whole point of that system is to let investors take on the risk to force them to make a decision on what investments are most likely to yield results.

What a lovely and humble man. I like how he prefaces his answer with ‘I don’t know’ and then explains that he’s tried but couldn’t figure out a reason so he’s moved on from the question.

Ah yes, the market. Known for it’s agile flexibilty so that it can ajust to demand at will and efficiently. I’m sure this will turn out well for everyone. By which I mean the peasants will be forced to commute to keep the status quo or they’ll lose their house while governments bail out the class that took on the risk for this real estate.

It’s so weird to me that the police force just shows up to a university to enforce the university’s rules. ‘Hey officer, I have this cool club and some people are not abiding by the rules I made up! Please come enforce them!’

Am I missing something? Is there something enshrined in law that grants universities that privilege or am I correct in thinking this is bullshit?

Unrelated to the question but can we please drop the Reddit habit of adding “of Lemmy” to the question? You’re asking Lemmy, no need to add it to every question.

No ill will to OP!

You could simply sync select subdirectories.
